friend codes depends on each game, you can perfectly well play online with japanese or american people in pokemans battle revolution.

and just be careful that your tv accepts NTSC systems, or you'll be playing in black and white only. oh, and RGB/Scart cables do not work with a US system, so, if you've got and HD set, buy component cables

I'm also planning to buy an NTSC-U Wii, but I already have a PAL with accessories. I have an extra Wii-mote/nunchuck, a Datel LAN adapter and a Joytech power station. And don't forget my gamecube Controllers/MemCards. I was wondering if I could use these on a NTSC-U Wii, too. Anyone can confirm this?

Also, does there happen to be a store in Europe that sells NTSC-U Wii consoles? I really don't like the idea of shipping costs and extra taxes.

i was considering getting a usa Wii, only problem is i would get a Wii with a different motherboard and it would be expensive to mod compared to a launch Wii, i have to sell my current pal Wii to afford the usa Wii and buy a converter for the power too, just not sure yet because of the expenses.

i actually thought it would be like that because the Nintendo has an external trasnformator so the voltage that goes into the console itself has to be same , but i bought the converter anyway so i can use both consoles at the same time on 2 TVs

sonikku, I have a US launch unit, and I purchased my accessories in France (Component cables, extra mote and nunchuk) and everything works fine. I can even play a large bunch of my PAL NGC games thanks to my wiikey. All my NGC memory cards work fine (59blocks for US games, and 3 251 blocks for my pal games)

hell, I can even play smash bros melee with my Dualshock 2 (via adapter)
